It is November 2016. The lute player Sofie Vanden Eynde is afraid that her heart will stop beating. Her doctor writes down the diagnosis in block letters: burnout. She is a burned-out house. The music falters too. Adrenalin sticks to her strings: to play is to die. She stops. For almost a year. Now it is time to take stock. Her strings speak differently now: the silence between the notes has gained a different meaning. Sofie encapsulates her experiences with burnout in a recital between white noise and clarity, confusion and silence, chaos and harmony. With music by John Dowland, Francesco da Milano, de Visée, de Narvaéz, and new work by Vladimir Gorlinsky.
